Actually Hangout

Actually Hangout v0.85.0 is here! Big one this time — we gave the app a brain. Meet your new assistant, put your hangouts on your real calendar, and get a nudge before things start. Say hello to your assistant Explore search got a full glow-up. There's a clean new search bar up top and a dedicated results screen that splits your answer into Places, Events, and Activities, with a smart AI answer right at the top. The answer even has tappable citations, so you can see exactly where a recommendation came from. And when you ask the assistant to handle something for you, it shows you a plan first and waits for your OK before it does anything. Hangouts on your real calendar Accept an invite or create a hangout and it now lands on your phone's calendar automatically, with the real start and end times. It's on by default, you can turn it off in settings, and it never creates duplicates. Reminders so nobody forgets Hosts can now add their own timed reminders to a hangout — pick a time before it starts, write a message, and everyone going gets the nudge. Attendees also get an automatic heads-up about an hour before. Weather and hours warnings When you're planning a hangout, we'll now flag things worth knowing, like rough weather in the forecast or a venue that's closed at your chosen time, right on the draft and the detail screen. Share when you're free You can now share a personal availability page so people can request a time that works for you. Toggle it on from your calendar, share the link, and rotate it anytime. Requests come right back to you to accept or pass. People, your way The People page got a search bar and friend tags, so finding and grouping your people is finally easy. You can also mark someone as hide my posts — they'll quietly stop seeing your posts, moods, and availability by default, and we'll confirm before it takes effect. Pinch to zoom Full-screen photos and videos now support pinch-to-zoom, and we moved the close button to a comfier spot. Other goodies - Ideas with video now show a crisp thumbnail everywhere they appear - The side drawer shows your current app version with a latest chip - Faster, lighter image loading — less waiting and less data used - Upcoming hangouts are sorted by whatever's happening soonest Bug fixes As always, tell us what you think. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
